The Palace Fan 3,090 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I hope Luton do it. They look like they could hold their own in what will be a very good standard for league one next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Being born in Carlisle I'm rooting for them, also planning on going along to their home leg against Exeter. It's a complete lottery really, as it was in deciding who got these places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Luton vs Exeter, I reckon. Blackpool could upset Luton but Carlisle look like they blew their load in the first half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just beat Exeter too although I don't think that will have any bearing. Carlisle vs Luton for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,067 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Think whoever wins the Blackpool vs. Luton the will go up. However, I wouldn't mind seeing Exeter get promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Four a piece on aggregate between Luton and Blackpool, with ex-O and two time Play-Off Final loser Scott Cuthbert putting Luton 2-1 up. Exeter lead Carlisle 4-3 on aggregate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Armand Gnanduillet, another ex-Orient player, scores for Blackpool and makes it 3-2 to Luton but 5-5 on the night. Great game this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass 61 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Two thrilling games on Thursday. What exciting endings. As much as I hate the donkey lashers, they deserve a lot of credit and I wouldn't begrudge them getting promoted after everything their fans have been through.

Toony 95 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I think Blackpool will win. I read somewhere that they haven't sold many tickets so most of the support will be Exeter, that could make a difference I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,649 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yeah, Blackpool fans have refused to go as a part of their boycott against the Oyston's. I didn't think they'd do this for the final, especially considering their numbers away have been fairly good but I can understand and sympathise with their situation. I'm quite undecided as to who I think will win. Blackpool are a good side and I was impressed with them when I saw them at Orient and how they reacted to being behind at Luton but Exeter are an underrated side and could nick this. I wouldn't be surprised to see this go to extra time to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true at all - this is the last thing the Oyston's wanted - they had their 5 year plan to take the club out the league, this scuppers that. Blackpool fans wanted the team to win today, they just want the Oyston's out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oyston's are or were convinced that relegation to League Two was just a speed bump in the road back to the Premier League (no, seriously). The club's fans are conflicted from what I know. Obviously it's their club and they want it to be successful but they also want the Oyston's out and to do that, they were hoping the rising costs and lack of income through less fans would drive them out, some even want to see Blackpool lose every game until the Oyston's depart. I stand by what I said. It's a crying shame that Blackpool have won that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass 61 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 A very grudging congratulations to Blackpool. They are the experts of getting promoted via the play-offs, I think this is the 5th time that they have done so across the various leagues. There will be a Lancashire mini-league of Blackburn, Blackpool and Fleetwood in League One next season. Hopefully their off-field problems can be resolved soon and the poisonous Oystons will finally step aside, but that remains to be seen. I hate to see any club, regardless of how much I dislike them, being ruined by useless and despicable owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
